Luka received 0 media votes, that is correct but didn't matter. Fans, players, and media voted Curry and Ja 1 and 2.

Bro, you just ju-jitsu'd me with your reply! How? Oh Miii Gee. It's magic!

I mean, All-Star starter might be a bit too much, but he would have been an All-Star regardless. After Paul, Booker, Curry, Ja, Mitchell, Gobert, Luka, Jokic, Towns and James, two slots will remain. Both Green and George are injured and won't likely be in the All-Star. Players like Ayaton, Wiggins, Davis, and Edwards, and others would fight for two spots, and I think Wiggins has a great chance of making the All-Star regardless whether he starts or not.

How is this more embarrassing than what the all-star game turned into over the years?

Wiggins is #5 in West front court player rank.

Only behind Draymond and Gobert.

Ahead of Ayton, KAT, PG13, and Ingram.

Let's keep on whining about behind the keyboards though. Like we know the game better than the players.

For those saying Booker should have taken Wiggins' spot, I have no idea which rock you have been under when you don't even know Booker doesn't compete against Wiggins in All Star votes. Different position.

players know nothing when they think wiggins is better than dray. or are you admitting it?
the only reason why wiggins got in was bc he plays wing and stupid argument was lets make a mediocre player a superstar just bc kawhi/pg are injured. players know nothing better than media who have studied decades even before they were born.
any conscious fan would feel guilty when their team received special treatment for being popular.

And as always, the media have shown that they know more than the players. It's funny that the players complain about the opinion of people in the media when it's always better than theirs.

Gobert, Green or KAT should have been starters ahead of Wiggins which is the point of most people. Or change a bad system and put Booker or Doncic as a starter. No one cares about position. If the 5 best players are guards, great, put 5 guards out there.

I definitely don’t feel guilty that a player on my favorite team got chosen to start in an exhibition game.

Players voted Draymond (3) slightly ahead of Wiggins (5).

Maybe try to read before arguing back.

Pretty obvious who knows nothing here.

Folks still whining about Wiggins? smh. Dude is averaging a very efficient 18 ppg for the league's marquee team. Like how did you think he wouldn't make is the real question.

GSW is probably the NBA most popular team since the 1990s Bulls. Remember how high Klay was in the votes last year despite not playing.

Once again for all the slow people in the back of course the NBA crown jewel franchise is going to vote for it's players in very high numbers.

People complained about Chris Gatling getting in...at least he didn't start.

He's got to be the worst starter ever voted in, or not voted in. It's embarrassing for the league.
